this panda's taking a break

I'm going on a short trip on a cruise tomorrow! So glad to leave behind the whole load of work, school and other stuffs, even if it's for a temporary basis.

Oh my 30" luggage, where are you? (horror?!) Ha ha, even though I'm a typical vain-pot, I'm definitely not going to carry a bag that I can smuggle myself in for a three-day trip :p (even though I'm tempted to do that...) It's time to pack!

top 10 fav animes

Yes, I love watching Japanese animations despite the impression I give to people in person. Here's a list of my all-time favorites:

1. Bartender- it is one of the rare animes that calms you down.
2. Slam Dunk - a classic that all (locally) who plays basketball know about.
3. Liar Game - clever and unique storyline about outsmarting others
4. One Piece - you can never predict what comes next in this insanely long-running but exciting anime
5. Skip Beat - all animes are based on mangas (comics). They are categorized as shounen (boys) and shoujo (girls) mangas. I usually prefer shounen to shoujo mangas, but this shoujo manga has me addicted. It is about a girl's accidental step into the show business.
6. Monster - gripping storyline about a skilled surgeon being framed for murder.
7. Hikaru no Go - about the world of Go (a strategic board game). For those who are interested, I would recommend going straight to reading the manga instead as the drawings and plot are more detailed.
8. The FullMetal Alchemist - a story about alchemy set in the era of the European Industrial Revolution.
9. Claymore - Similar to the function of a weapon of a claymore sword, female warriors who are half-human, half-demon are called a Claymore. These soldiers void of emotions are tasked with killing the demons to protect human race.
   
10. Initial D - about car-racing on hills. Lots and lots of drifts in here.
    

these 2 weeks

I'm in the midst of these two weeks that are packed with lessons everyday and looming deadlines for projects and test.

I was worrying about them, how to manage my time for school, work and helping out my parents; and whether I'll be able to do well for all of them.

Then I got fed-up of worrying. What the heck, just live through it.
